The white berry is red twig dogwood, NOT edible.  White berries tend to be poisonous.  The red berry is honeysuckle, probably tartarian, also NOT edible.  The third one I need more info.  How tall is it, as is it a tree? or shrub?  and what color was the bloom?  Bloom pictures would be good.

I have another picture of the 3rd one but no pics of flowers. It appears to be a large shrub or small tree.  these pics were taken a few years ago. I need to go see if things are blooming yet. Last time I checked they weren't.

Sorry, I actually meant the 2nd picture with the purple berries.  The red one would have had small flowers earlier in spring.  If easier you can email my direct email <personal data hidden>
